Group, After much thought and fiddling around I finally had to surgically remove the outer bakelite knob. The three screws that held the knob on could not be coaxed out. This was an older model with only one set screw.
Once I had that removed I was able to wedge out the knob with some shim stick behind it. I then used a drift and with a couple of whacks the knob came off. Yup, the shaft was a mess. I was able to remove the burnishes on the shaft and in the knob with emery paper. The chassis was real filthy. I used a toothbrush and some automotive hand cleaner to degunk the chassis. I then hosed it down ad dried it in the Florida sun. Toight I'll start recapping and replacing resisiors. I need to locate the bakelite tuning knob, a meter scale, a National radio decal and that little pointer above the dial. de KA4JVY Mark __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
